ありがとう

19日の「la la loop!」から１０日たちました

とても素敵な時間でした

いろんな意味で

アメリカに移る直前に

そんなイベントできるかいな？

とはじめは思ったけど

あまりにも慌しかったおかげで

考えるひまもなく

わかっていながらもなかなかできない

「流れにまかせる」ということを

自然にやっていました

もちろんそこには

今回のテーマでもあった

「つながり」があったおかげです

参加してくれた人
かけつけてくれた人
サポートしてくれた人

本当にありがとう

「手放すこと」について
えらそうにポエムなんて書いたけど
そうすると奇跡が起こるって
本当なんだね

 

Mar and Utae (that's her bent over on the right, 

painting on a giant Amy doll :)

I love you guys

  

Lovely dolls made by Utae.

They were sold out!!

  

Beautiful 

Praha & Suiren

  

Butcher-san

my painting buddy

  

Awesome guys at Cafe Cherir

It's already been 10 days since the event La La Loop!

It was a crazy idea to try to pull this off
three days before my departure to the US.

When Mar first suggested it
I thought he was out of his mind.

"Instead of having a plain old farewell get-together,"
he said
"Why not make it an event?
You do an art exhibition, plus live painting
We (Numb) will provide live music
and Utae will make a whole pile of "Amy dolls"
and sell them for 500 yen each to give to you as part of your airfare!!"



It sounded like too much fun not to do it.

Needless to say, my last few weeks in Tokyo
was absolutely mad.

But because it was so horrendously mad
I had no time to think
which proved to be a great blessing
as it naturally made me get out of my own way.

I just let go.

And lo and behold
everything went smoothly.

And the event

was just plain amazing.

Of course

none of this could have been possible

without the help and support
(the "connection" as was the theme for the event)

of everyone

including the staff at Cherir.

And for that

I am so deeply grateful.

Without really realizing it

I was actually experiencing 

what I had written up as a poem for the event.

*****

La La Loop

Dance
Spin like a loop and let your heart open up
Get silly
Be a child
For no other reason than to connect with other hearts

Connect
Through friendly smiles
Warm hugs, loving kisses
Exchange of common energies

Always
There is more than one way to connect

Loneliness, isolation
Are other words for disconnection
We scrounge and cling to the little evidence of connection we can find

But if we only let ourselves entertain the possibility
That we are only separated above ground
And under the soil
Are powerful roots
That grow out of the same warm place

And trust
And let go
Really let go
Let our branches sway with the wind
Allow ourselves to dance with our hands free

Perhaps then
And only then
Will we truly and authentically feel
 Connected


With love and gratitude to every connection I've made in Japan
日本でつながりを持てた全ての人に愛と感謝をこめて
Amy McCaleb

Art on the Beach @ Kaneyo Shokudo

With Yukalicious


Yes, this was also forever ago

November 7, 2009 to be exact

But it was such a wonderful event

that I wanted to share

Amazing live music

(Yukalicious, KAZZ,  Rickie-G, among others)

Lots of art

Many of them being created right on the spot

All under the perfect sun

Right on the beach
with wonderful friends including my best buddy Weny and a new friend Jim

 In front of Kaneyo Shokudo.

Forest Jam @ Primrose

 

Azul

  

With Kana, Gaku and Kaoru

 

With Azumi (Rabi Rabi), Saori-an and Azul

Was the middle of December--freezing!

But we hardly noticed the cold once the music started. 

Forest Jam is a monthly outdoor live music event 

held right outside of Primrose, a delicious curry restaurant 

situated in the middle of the Nakadaki Art Village, 

surrounded by beautiful trees and star filled sky. 

It was the festival's one year anniversary 

and this time there was so much more than just live music 

(which in itself was enough to blow you away)

--there was fire dancing, aerial dancing by Azul, 

and two sets of live painting (Saori-an and us!) 

happening on either side of the stage

--all taking place around a toasty bonfire. 

Azumi of Rabi Rabi has a voice that is not of this world. 

Its so beautiful and powerful and primal, 

it transports you to another dimension so high and enrapturing 

that you just want to indulge and stay there forever.

When the show ended I felt as if I had just woken from an incredibly satisfying dream.

『フォーレストジャム』は

千葉県九十九里浜の近くにあるNakadaki Art Villageにある

おいしーいカレー屋さん、プリムローズで

毎月行われる小さな野外フェス。

12月はその一周年記念で、

The LapanuiとRabi Rabiのライブミュージックのほかに、

ファイヤーダンサー

ステージの屋根の上でくるくる舞うAzul（あずさ）の空中遊芸 、

そしてステージの両側にSaori-Anさんとケイコ＆エイミーの

ダブル・ライブペインティング。

野外の冬真っ只中の寒さなんて吹っ飛んでしまう、熱いイベントでした！

Rabi Rabiのあずささんの声、この世のものとは思えない。

その声に乗せられてどこか遠くて懐かしい

心の奥底が踊りだしてしまうような幸せな世界へ運ばれ、

気づいたら絵が完成していた。

そんな夢見ごこちな夜でした。

ペインティングしている間、前で一緒に思いっきり盛り上がっていた

かおるくん、かなちゃん、がくくん！

おかげで楽しさ倍増でした！

そしてお顔にいっぱい絵の具をべたべたのせさせてくれて、

そのノリのよさに感激！

ありがとう～

＊そして今月のフォーレストジャムは2月13日！

今回のライブは偶然にも

先日も紹介した仲良しの『南無』、

そして東田トモヒロ！

見逃せませーん☆

Tony Guppy @ B-flat

アップするのが恐ろしく遅れてしまいましたっ

トニーさんライブ第二弾、赤坂のライブハウスB-flatにて。

今回はまたレイドバックなマルチスチールパン奏者の原田芳宏さんと。

ゲタオさん（b）、深井克則さん（p）、ジーン重村さん（dr）

才能も人柄もすてきです！

ハッピーな音とエネルギー

ケイコとも息があって

気持ちよかったです♪

音楽やその場の雰囲気ってダイレクトで絵に出ます。

トニーのライブで描く絵は自分で言うのもなんですが、好きです。

来てくれた、みっちゃん、ふーちゃん、ともちゃん、なみさん、ありがとう☆

助産婦のなみさんは、なんとシフトの合間にかけつけてくれたの～！

Another awesome gig by Tony Guppy and crew.

This time a duo with another super steel pan guy, Harada san

(he had three pans!)

Tony's shows are always so full of happy positive energy--I love it.

It's amazing how much the painting can change
according to the quality of music

as well as the energy we feel from the artists and the audience.

It's been ohhhh 2.5 months since we painted this?

Like I said, better late than never!

南無＠Ripple

 

Isa, Micchan, Zempo-san

 Imari & Ed

Okuda-san, Micchan, me, Quengo, Micchan's friend, Mar

まーくんと伊万里ちゃんのユニット「南無」の楽しい音楽に聞き入りながら、三軒茶屋のRippleで描きました。今回はなんと壁に直接！

南無の音楽、いつ聞いても最高☆

そして仲良しのアーチスト、みっちゃん（aka神楽坂唄絵）とコラボ！

お互いのワンピースがキャンバスと化しました。

みっちゃんは 思わず見入ってしまう素敵な絵を展示した、アートフルな底なしに楽しいパーティイベント。

気づいたら来ていたお客さんみんなの顔から服にまで描きはじめて、止まらない～！！

店長の奥田さん含め、お店中、絵の具だらけの夜でした。

According to my friend Ed, "It was madness."

My artist friend Micchan and I collaborated with a wonderfully fun and happy, groovy duo called Numb. 

Mar is a singer/songer writer and guitarist and Imari is a rock star drummer.

If you haven't heard them already, you really need to.

Painted directly (whoohoo!) on the wall of  Ripple, a tastefully artsy, super yummy food offering restaurant in Sangenjaya.

Mr. Okuda, you're the best!

After a while, Micchan (aka Utae) started painting on my dress, and me on hers.

And we could not stop there.

 We promptly went on to paint on everyone else in the room!

Very soon the night had become one big painting fest!

We all need to return to being kids every once in a while--seriously.

Tomohiro Higashida＠DK

I've been so behind on updating my blog! I'm going to go back and put up posts about some of the live paitings gigs I was involved in last year.
Tomohiro Higashida is one of my favorite musicians (that's him in the green) whose music I heard for the first time last summer at the Earth Day event at Yoyogi Park. Butcher-san is a good friend of Mr. Higashida and was scheduled to draw at his gig at Days Kugenuma (DK) in Kugenuma-Kaigan (a place just minutes away from where I lived as a kid!), and invited me to come along. Yeay!

最近ブログのアップデートを怠っていました。
これからはもっとちゃんと載せていきます！
「今年は物事を後回しにしないぞ」と心に決めたし！（だ大丈夫かな。。）

で、ちょっと前になっちゃいましたが、、、
心に響く詞と音楽を奏でる大好きなミュージシャン、東田トモヒロさんのライブでブッチャーさんとコラボ！場所は私が小学校時代まで住んでいた鵠沼海岸にあるDays Kugenuma。 サーファー店長さんがとてもすてき！
ブッチャーさんが東田さんのライブでよく描いていて、今回「一緒に描かない？」と呼んでくれました。ブッチャーさんがチャコールでポートレートを描いたあと、私がその回りに色づけ。写真は一枚しか取れなかったのだけど、上の写真はこの絵をプレゼントしたKinkinさんに後から送ってもらいました♪

happy new year!

もう６日なのに、まだ年賀状を書いてます。。
もう一つの新年の抱負は「物事を先延ばしにしないこと」。。。汗！

今年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします！

I'm still working on them darn new years cards, which are a very nice way to stay in contact with people with whom you may lose touch completely otherwise, but are normally sent out BEFORE new years so that they arrive ON new years day. Sigh...I think my new year's resolution should actually read: To not procrastinate. But then again, better late than never, I say!!

Happy new year everyone!!
I hope the new year brings much love and light and many joyful moments to each one of you!!

マンガ出たよ

突然ですが、この度「大葉リビ」のペンネームでマンガを描きました。（ついでにこのブログでの名前も大葉リビに変えちゃいました！）

「わたしは働くうつウーマン」、１１月２６日、小学館から発売。１１５５円（税込）

ライターの安部結貴さんのうつ病体験をギャグなタッチで紹介してます。

少しでも読者のうつ病に対する理解が深まり、またはうつ病患者さん自身の心が軽くなったり、勇気づけられたりするお手伝いができたら嬉しいなと思ってます。

さらっと読めると思うので、機会があるときにぜひのぞいてみてね～！
アマゾンからの購入をご希望の方はこちら！

Please check out the very first manga I created, published by Shogakukan.

The story is written by a writer and personal friend, Yuuki Abe, about her own real life experiences having clinical depression.
Sounds heavy, but have no fear!
I've done my best to keep it all light and often even comical, so that the reader can learn about the terrible illness without getting sucked into the dark side, and even enjoy doing so.

If you can read Japanese, or are interested in taking this opportunity to learn the wonderful language, please have a look!!
Amazon page here.

And for those of you fabulous people who have actually taken the time to read it, do let me know what you think!!

Japanese Lounge Night @ the Pink Cow

Painted with Keiko at a monthly event called the Japanese Lounge Night at the Pink Cow, organized by an elegant shamisen player, Kumiya Fujimoto. Kumiya is a passionate shamisen teacher who wants all, both Japanese and foreigners, to learn more about the exciting world of traditional Japanese music.

Played at the event were the shakuhachi, koto, shamisen, and even a not-so-Japanese instrument, the didgeridoo, which accompanied along with the shakuhachi a cool UK rapper, Leigh. The quality of the players was way beyond anything I had expected and the music was just plain amazing. I encourage anyone and everyone to go and experience it for themselves! JLN is held every month at the Pink Cow. To find out when, go here.

These images were taken by a talented photographer, Shane Wadleigh. Check out more shots taken at the event by Shane here!

ピンクカウの「ジャパニーズ・ラウンジ・ナイト」というイベントで描かせてもらいました。オーガナイザーの久美弥さんはとても素敵な三味線奏者で、一人でも多くの人に日本の古典音楽を知ってもらおうと活躍している方です。このイベントでは、三味線だけでなく、尺八、お琴、三線（さんしん）ともりだくさん。その他にディジュリ　ドゥやラッパーも登場！音楽のレベルも、私の期待を大きく上回り、ハンパなかったです。ライブペインティングにも最適だったし、日本の音楽ってこんなに素敵だったんだ、と思い知らされました！

写真はShane Wadleighさんが撮ってくれました。他の写真はこちら！
ジャパニーズラウンジナイトは毎月第３日曜日にやってます。
絶対いいから、みなさん、だまされたと思って一度行ってみて！！
スケジュールはこちらを見てね。（きゃー！今月は昨日だった。。。）

Sia's jam session @ Gokai

絵を描きたくなる曲、ってあります。
聴いていると、どきどきしてきて、頭の中がいろんな色や形であふれてきます。
そんな衝動にかられ、あるときからライブに行くときにはスケッチブックとクレヨンを持ってくようになりました。どんな絵が出てくるか、音楽をきいてみないとわからない。
そんなサプライズがいつも待っていて、楽しくてしょうがないのです。

あ る日の深夜、原宿の「バー誤解」へ、イラン人の友人で、ネイというたて笛を吹き、すてきなペルシャ音楽を奏でるシーアとスペイン人のバンスーリ奏者のカル ロスさんたちのジャムセッションを聴きに行きました。Mysticという言葉がぴったりの、どこだかわからないけど居心地のよい別世界へ連れて行ってくれ る、いつまででも聴いていたいような、そんなセッションでした。

A little while back, I started bringing my sketchbook and crayons whenever I went to hear live music. I love letting my mind and hand go to simply let the music move me to choose the colors and shapes I put on paper. I never know what I would end up with and it's exciting to find out what kind of artwork the day's music would create through me.

This is one of the images I came away with one late night at Bar Gokai, where my Iranian friend and ney player Sia played in a jam session with, among others, Carlos, a Spanish bansuri player, who was visiting Japan and whose gig I had just attended hours earlier. What a special night! Sinking into one of the big cushions in this dark, ambient hideaway bar, listening to nonstop mystical sounds carrying you to another dimension.

Come by!

またトニーさんのライブでペインティングします。
トニーさんのスチールパン、最高だよ！
お時間があったらぜひ！

Will be paining at Tony's show again.
His music is simply amazing. You won't be disappointed, I promise you!

Umi by KAZZ

KAZZさんの音楽、7月3日（「波の日」）に西麻布の『73』で初めて聴いたときから大好きです。
葉山にお住まいで、いでだちも音楽もいかにも海の人！という感じの方。でもサーフィン歴はほんの数年だとか。
ひろくんのライブでまたお会いしたときに、アルバム『Ｇｌａｓｓｙ～凪～』をプレゼントしてもらい、まわりが何ごとかと思ってしまうぐらい飛び上がって大喜びだった私。すごく素敵だからぜひ聴いてみて！！

一番目の曲、『海』をなんども聴きながら描きました。
ライブで聴くほうがだんぜんいいんだけどね！

A wonderful wonderful musician, a guitarist and djembe player named KAZZ, whose music I heard for the first time at a bar named 73 in Nishi-azabu on July 3rd and fell instantly in love with, gave me a copy of his album Glassy when I saw him again performing as a guest at Hiro's gig.

I don't think KAZZ was expecting me to get as excited as I did! hee.
Most of his songs are inspired by the ocean, to which he lives very close in a nice beach town called Hayama.
I painted this while listening to the first song on the album called Umi, which means (surprise!) "ocean."

Electric Soup EXperiMENTAL music night @ Gamuso

以前、個展をやらせてもらった阿佐ヶ谷のお店「我無双」のイベントでのライブペインティング。今回はケイコと私とブッチャーさんの3人コラボ！いつものかっこいいモノクロのポートレートをライブペイント（ドローイング？）すると同時に、私たちと一緒にカラフルに色をのせてくれました♪　今回のイベントでは4組ほどのグループが様々な音楽を披露。なかでもRajasthanというギタリストとタンバリン＆ボーカルの2人組みがよかった！2つだけの楽器なのに、こんなにも盛り上がれるのかー！というぐらい、ご機嫌でした！写真はうわさのブッチャーさん。（ケイコはどこにいたのー！？）

Our live painter friend whom everyone calls "The Butcher" (apparently he used to be quite hefty as a little kid and had a striking resemblance to Abdullah The Butcher if you can believe it--that's him in the photo!) joined us for another live painting gig, this time at Gamuso - Gallery Chroma in Asagaya. A very eclectic mix of musicians took to the stage--quite an interesting experience. My favorite group was Rajasthan. The name doesn't necessarily reflect the kind of music they play, but their stuff was fun and upbeat--perfect for painting to. Thanks Herman for inviting us! Look forward to going back!

Tony Guppy Special @ KAMOME

トニーさんは、トリニダード・トバゴのスチールパン奏者。楽しくて暖かい人柄がそのまま音楽に出ていて、聴いている人を幸せにしてくれます。トニーとはブルースアレイで１年ちょっとぶりの再会！今回は彼の音楽を聴きながら描けることになり、とてもハッピー！
セッティングをして、音楽は始まって、さあ描こう！というときに「ふ、筆がない！」と初めて気づくケイコと私。ということは、手で描きなさいってことね、と今回は指を筆代わりに描きました（普段も結局勢いあまって手で描くことが多いのだけど）。ちょうど最後の3曲ほどを残すところで描き終わり、あとは踊りまくり！日本人でNo.1と言われているスチールパン奏者の伊沢陽一さんと高橋ゲタ夫さん(b)、羽仁知治さん(p)、ジーン重村さん(d)の息はぴったり合って、本当にたのしいグルービーな音楽にはお客さんも大喜びで、お店中が一体となったパーティのようでした！

Tony is a very talented steelpan player from Trinidad and Tobago. I met him over a year ago and we had a happy reunion at Blues Alley. Keiko and I were thrilled to be invited not only to hear his music, but also to paint to it!
It wasn't until we were all set up, the show had started and we were about to paint that we realized I had forgotten all my paint brushes! Eek! We quickly decided that tonight, we were meant to paint with our fingers, so that's what we did :)
There was another amazing steelpan player besides Tony, this one a Japanese fellow. Them and the rest of the guys on stage totally brought the house down with their groovy stuff. Thanks so much for such a fun night, Tony!
Tony has invited us back to do it again, this time at B-Flat in Akasaka, in November.

HIRO again @ Blues Alley Tokyo

Had another chance to paint to Hiro's music, this time with Keiko. Hiro has created new songs (Port is my favorite) and it was such a treat to get to hear them again! Painting alone is great fun, but doing it with a partner adds a different kind of energy and I love finding out what comes out of it. Many more guests tonight including Tony Guppy, TOKU, and Shanti. The core quartet was once again amazing and I got a bit carried away with the paint. I hope the owner of Blues Alley doesn't notice the splashes (tiny--really!) I got on their curtain!

またひろくんのライブで描かせてもらいました。メンバーの4人組は最高です！今年のツアーの最終日だということもあり、トニー・グッピー、TOKU、シャンティ、元晴さんなどのたくさんのゲストいっぱいでのりのりのライブでした。あまりにのりのりで絵の具をのせまくり。ブルースアレイさん、カーテンに飛び散った絵の具、ごめんなさい！というか気づきませんように！
ひろくん、これからも応援してます♪
素敵な音楽をありがとう！（とくに新曲の「ポート」いいですね～♪）

Motion Blue Yokohama

西藤大信さんがHiro Jazz Tourで横浜のモーションブルーでライブ。いつもながらすばらしいミュージシャンのグループで、しかもゲストにKAZZさん！とてもハッピーな気持ちでステージ横で描かせていただきました。ステージの反対側にはブッチャーさん！再会できてうれしかった～。

Painted at an awesome gig by Hironobu Saito and his crew, on their annual Hiro Jazz Tour, at Motion Blue Yokohama. I had promised Hiro that I would only paint during the first set and listen during the second, but I couldn't stop! Ended up painting till the very last song. Thanks for the great music as always, Hiro!

Steve's groovy music

Had the honor of painting to the music of an awesome guitarist Steve Fell, who happens to be my best friend's husband :) and his side-kick Haru-san. Was great to see you guys back in Tokyo!

夏に来日した大学時代からの親友としこのだんなさん、スティーブ・フェルと彼がよく一緒に演奏するハルさんの気持ちのいい音楽にのせてケイコと描きました♪

Brian Eno on paper

My painting partner Keiko and I painted to Brian Eno. Love his stuff!

Live painting on the beach, July 28th

Painted at Current, a beach house in Kamakura while listening to beautiful music by beautiful people including Yukalicious, KAZZ, Hironobu Saito, Keison and Shanti against the backdrop of the sound of breaking waves. The added *HUGE* bonus was a chance to see Denjiro Sato's awe-inspiring surf video MANA for the second time! What a treat!!　

Check out Shanti's blog about the event here. (Sorry it's in Japanese but you can view photos!)

鎌倉由比ガ浜の海の家、『カレント』でライブペインティングをさせていただきました。ユカリシャス、KAZZ、西藤大信、Keison、シャンティと、人柄も音楽もとても素敵なミュージシャンたちの音楽を聴きながら、波の音を聴きながら。。　そして 佐藤傅次郎さんの映像、MANAをまた観ることができたのが、この上なく嬉しかったです！！（そしてまた観たい）　ブッチャーさん、ありがとうっ！

詳しくはシャンティのブログを見てね。

turtle with a blue hat

a goldfish I got at a matsuri

dizzy

it's a deer

Another froggie

爬虫類が好き。とくにカエルとヤモリとカメ。どこか顔が似てるし。
前に「ワサビ」っていう名前のカメを飼っていました。カメってくしゃみやあくびをするの、知ってました？その姿がたまらなくかわいいんです。

Emigon loves reptiles. Frogs, geckos and turtles, especially.
She used to have a turtle named Wasabi. Did you know that turtles yawn and sneeze? They're so adorable when they do.

Peacock

At least that's what Emigon says this bird is. She likes it because it's blue.

A snail came for a visit

Emigon loves snails, too! She likes to collect them and line them up along the handle bars of her bicycle. She gets a kick out of touching their eyeballs and watching them pull back and stick back out again. She found a teeny-tiny baby snail last night in the bathroom. Its house was the size of a sesame seed. She couldn't figure out how it kept from falling as it crawled down the wall. She let the snail climb up onto her toothbrush and took it outside where it could safely hang out on a neighbor's plant.

Froggie

Emigon loves frogs. She doesn't understand why some people don't like them or are even scared of them. She used to find lots of them in her yard when she lived in Kugenuma.

Tombou

Emigon's work --butterfly

I've decided to hire another inner artist. Her name is Emigon. She's about 8 years old. She likes to draw bugs and animals. I'll be showing a series of her work for a while :)

Another Thursday afternoon

Taking a break from work to doodle.

Thursday in Asakusa

This is how I was feeling that day.

Drum Art Part Two

Went to do another round of drum art, this time with my friend Kei who's studying to become an art therapist. What fun. In contrast to the last time, where I sat literally inches away from the drum as it was being played, I sat a few seats away this time. It think the difference shows in the images-- bit calmer and less wild, don't you agree?
There were a few more participants this time and the energy in the room during the 10 or so minutes of work was pretty intense. Very exciting.

「ドラム・アート」（と私が勝手に名づけてますが）の第二弾に行ってきました。今回はアートセラピーの勉強をしているお友達のケイちゃんと。前回は太鼓をたたくアキさんの真横に座って絵を描いたのですが、今回は少し離れていました。違いが絵に表れていると思うのですが、いかがでしょう？
参加者ももう少し多く、絵を描いている最中の部屋の空気はとにかく熱かったです！
